The Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast Museum displays reproduction hatchets and Borden case artefacts, and the property's own published guest materials (reproduced on lizzieborden.com and described by Lee-ann Wilber, the B&B's longtime owner and manager, in media interviews including the New England Cable News, 2014) note that overnight guests frequently report the sensation of waking to a female presence standing at the foot of their bed. Wilber stated in the NECN interview that she personally had experienced the sensation of an unseen hand touching her shoulder in the master bedroom on more than one occasion. Additionally, the B&B's own promotional materials explicitly list the museum's axes as items that have been associated with feelings of unease in visitors, with some guests reporting they feel compelled to leave the room. These accounts are presented as reported witness statements from a named source.

The Freeform/Travel Channel paranormal programme 'Kindred Spirits' — hosted by Amy Bruni and Adam Berry — conducted an investigation of the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast featured in Season 5 of the show (2021). Bruni, a professional paranormal investigator, and Berry, a psychic medium, reported a range of phenomena during their session, including Berry claiming to make communication with a presence that identified itself as connected to the Borden family. Bruni noted in a podcast interview accompanying the episode (Haunted Happenings with Amy Bruni, 2021) that audio recordings from the basement area produced an anomalous sound she described as 'rhythmic chopping,' which she characterised as a residual auditory imprint. These claims are framed here as reported investigator claims in a named programme and named companion podcast.
